UI announces $11 million in scholarships
The University of Idaho is awarding more than $11 million in scholarship support to over 4,000 Idaho residents for the 2016-17 academic year, as part of President Chuck Staben’s commitment to making higher education accessible and affordable to all of Idaho’s residents.
For the upcoming year, UI has awarded more than $25 million in scholarship support to over 5,500 students from 47 states.
“We are committed to making higher education accessible to all students — financial hardships should not stand in the way of anyone wishing to achieve an advanced degree,” said Dan Davenport, director of Student Financial Aid Services. “The University of Idaho understands that a college degree is something worth investing in, and we believe our students are worth investing in, too.”
These scholarships are a combination of merit, need-based and outstanding achievement awards. Many of the scholarships are funded privately by the University of Idaho Foundation, Inc., through the generosity of donors and alumni.
